Description
------------------------------------------------------------
Fragments of our soul can leech out of ourselves, and embed themselves in our local surroundings, spreading and reaching out. Our homes are often reflections of ourselves, as are the people you choose to be part of your home.
A stranger that would view pieces of my home, like the things I have collected over the years, the photos and art that I choose to display, would be able to see parts of those fragments. And to me, that feels like another layer of soul wholeness.

Aaah Dani this is fantastic! And I'm happy the series has really been paying off for you, too. I'm seeing certain techniques and ideas getting stronger and stronger, which is one of the best part of working on a series of something.
The combination of textures really pops in this one! You've got your hyper-realism (that eye!) and the surreal, inky fluids, and in this piece it blends together very well. How did you even do the milky swirls? I love the concept behind this one, too. Definitely, our homes say a lot about ourselves and it's easy to see what a person values by glancing around their room. I'm guessing you have a lot of woodsy, animal imagery around your place! Lovely concept and beautiful piece-- I'm excited to see what comes next!
(By the way, do you accept critique on personal pieces? I do know one thing that can add to these pieces, but I want to make sure that's alright with you!)

Why thank you lovely!
And go for it! I plan on adding to this series of work, so if there is a way that you think they may be improved upon, I'd love to hear. C:

Oh you are so welcome! I'm loving all the owls too, they're some of my favorite birds... Ah okay! One thing that would make these pieces even better-- or at least the concept-heavy pieces, this one with its theme of home/self--, would be to add more elements to help communicate the idea. For example, a mountain, forest, or nest would be a great addition to this painting! Perhaps you can work those into the swirls? Lots of options in those inky shapes, and sometimes the littlest touches can carry a story!
Aaah I'm such a sucker for these recent pieces you've done, so keep up the fantastic work!

While reading this my heart went "yes, that is the missing piece", but in a weird relieved, achy sort of way. Heart feelings are odd.
But yes, that would be the perfect addition, the perfect touch to give it more soul. Thanks Ribbs <3<3<3
